What is the most intelligent sign in the Chinese zodiac?

There are different types of intelligence in humanity. According to the Chinese zodiac, three signs stand out for their intelligence above the others.

According to some theories, there are twelve types of intelligence. Among others, this premise is supported by the psychologist Jonathan García-Allen, a graduate of the University of Barcelona and director of communication for the website Psychology and Mind.

Beauty, health, and intelligence are three socially valued traits, says García-Allen, but they are complex concepts. It cannot be said of any of them that one has it or not: "intelligence is full of nuances," says the professional in an excellent article on the subject.

Based on this definition, the specialist distinguishes between:

• Linguistic intelligence (mastery of language).
• Logical-mathematical intelligence (ability to conceptualize the relationships between symbols).
• Spatial intelligence (observing the world from different perspectives).
• Musical intelligence (ability to play and compose musical pieces).
• Bodily and kinesthetic intelligence (use of the body and movements).
• Intrapersonal intelligence (understanding oneself and reflecting on one's behaviors and emotions).
• Interpersonal intelligence (ability for social relationships and empathy).
• Emotional intelligence (self-control, empathy, social skills, emotional awareness).
• Naturalist intelligence (sensitivity to nature and the environment).
• Existential intelligence (meditative, philosophical, seeking self-knowledge, situating oneself in front of the universe in the physical and psychological).
• Creative intelligence (innovation, flying mind, imagination, production of ideas).
• Collaborative intelligence (teamwork, management of the whole, personal and social organization).

A numerologist would say: twelve types of intelligence and twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. Coincidence? We have to see if each one corresponds to a sign, but each type of intelligence does correspond to a type of personality.

Let's see what astrology says about this topic, according to the portal Terra.
